Welcome to Mark 'TDK' Knight's "Game Sounds" !

As well as music, sound effects and speech design, I have extensive experience in game sound implimentation, and can work with your development team to create the best all round audio experience.

From music (CyberSpeed, Duke Nukem Total Meltdown, Dungeon Keeper 2, Populous the Beginning, Warhammer Dark Omen and more) to recording world rally cars for Colin McRae DiRT 2, or Formula One cars for F1 2010, processing ethereal voices, dialogue recording and editing, to just getting it all in within that ever decreasing memory budget.

April, 2011 - New CyberSpeed album, CyberSpeed Unleashed is released

It's taken a while, been a little pet project of mine for a number of years, to re-record and mix the music I wrote 16 years ago for the Playstation game, CyberSpeed. Well, finally it's complete and for sale as a digital download. It'll take a little longer to hit Amazon and iTunes, but it's already available at CDBABY so click HERE and reminisce the good old days :)

April, 2011 - Credits music for FortressCraft, chapter 1

I've written the music for the credits screen in the new Xbox360 Indie game, FortressCraft. It went straight into the 360 download charts at No.1 in Canada, No.2 in the UK and No.3 in the USA. I'm hoping this collaboration will continue into the future, and am looking into getting the track uploaded to iTunes and Amazon in the very near future.

Awesome news, F1 2010 has won a BAFTA for Best Sports Game.

January, 2011 - Cyberspeed Re-Imagined.

Nearly there. Had a few more ideas over Xmas. Now I'm half way through mastering, which is taking its time as I continue to want to improve. Such is life when there isn't a deadline!

September, 2010 - F1 2010, in at no.1.

F1 2010 hits the streets at no.1 - this was a fab project for an F1 fanboy to work on, and I guess I've got the closest to F1 cars that any none F1 team member can ever get, when I was out with the a number of teams recording the engine sounds on track.

August, 2010 - Duke Nukem Total Meltdown 'cancelled tunes' uploaded.

Found a couple of tracks which we didn't think were appropriate for the game :- Dubspace, and Mysteronious.

Codemasters have announced the development of the next version in the DiRT franchise :)

I've uploaded the latest preview mp3 of some of the tracks remixed and re-recorded for the forthcoming Cyberspeed 2008, or more likely 2009, Remixed mp3 album. Check it out NOW.

As mentioned earlier, I provided the tracker .mod music for this game and am proud to have helped Ideaworks 3D win this award!

July, 2008 - Albino 2 remixed by CoLD SToRAGE.

Just about every gamer knows of CoLD SToRAGE aka Tim Wright, even if you don't realise it. He's been responsible for, amoungst other things, the original music content for the WipeOut games since the original came out with the Playstation 1. Anyways, Tim took a bit of a liking to my Albino 2 track and gave it the CoLD SToRAGE treatment - the end result blew my mind! Check it out under the remixes section on this page from his website.

June, 2008 - Race Driver: GRID, straight in at number 2.

FINALLY!!!! A game that I've worked on actually gets into the shop. Not only that, but GRID goes in the charts at No.2 with an 'Audio Accomplishment' nomination at the Develop 2008 awards!

March, 2008 - Smoke Plumes aka Floydlike finally finished.

This is a rock beast which was originaly writting in 2001. In 2006 I decided to try and create the track I always intended in my head so approached an internet collaboration site to complete it. 18 months later, this is the result.. Check it out in the DOWNLOADS section.

November, 2007 - Mark goes to Codemasters.

After 3 job offers in the past year, Codemasters and I finally come to an agreement with the 4th offer. I start there in November working on their racing/driving games. Should be fun :) I'll still be adding news and music to this site as and when possible.

I've just completed the .mod tracker conversions of the Metal Gear Solid music for mobile phones. It's been the first time I've seriously used a tracker music program since 1993 as 'TDK' and I must admit I really enjoyed working with the format again.
